I was in Paterson, New Jersey last week and found Record City which to my surprise had a healthy selection of cassettes from all genres; they sell them for five dollars each and I ended up leaving with eighty five dollars worth of cassettes and I plan to cruise by again later this week and cop some more.

Looking forward to buy a lot of cassete tapes! Got some money to spend... If anybody of you all is willing to sell some tapes (Wu-Tang, Mobb Deepp, west coast shit, everything) - let me know! Just PM me!
We can deal for real !

I started a thread on cassettes and got directed to this thread so here's my little collection

There's only two record stores in my city so finding cassettes anywhere other than the Internet is difficult
I'm a sucker for anything rare/limited edition so these were a bit of a must buy- Raekwon, R.A The Rugged Man, Onyx #wakedafucup, MF doom & Granddad Woolly - those cassettes were all bought from the artists retailers but the others I found in the two record stores

I see that rappers are putting out cassette versions sometimes now. I know the cassette was a big part of hip hop beyond just a platform of music but I don't get the vintage appeal of them unlike vinyl.

I used to make heaps of mix TAPES back in the 90's but. Cassettes were cool

Half.com was bought by Ebay some years back. Sellers aren't allowed to sell cassette tapes at the site. Some would still sell them though, but they would get warned if they got caught. lol I think Ebay has been doing more fixed prices lately though than they used to, cause the popularity of the auction thing has gone down some. I read an article about that not that long ago. So maybe some sellers at Ebay would be offering some cassette tapes for a fixed set price, instead of the auction thing?

Is it just me or does this read like a CharlesJones post haha
